Print Recipe

A refreshing summer salad combining sweet watermelon, fresh mint, salty feta, and a tangy honey lime drizzle for a light and vibrant dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh watermelon, diced into bite-sized cubes
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice of 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups of seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes (roughly 1-inch pieces). Place the cubes into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Rinse ¼ cup of fresh mint leaves, pat dry, and finely chop. Add the chopped mint to the watermelon.
  3. Measure ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle over the watermelon and mint mixture.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, juice of 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons), and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil until smooth.
  5. Pour the honey lime drizzle over the watermelon, mint, and feta mixture. Gently toss to coat everything evenly, using a light folding motion to avoid crushing the watermelon.
  6. Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness and sprinkle freshly ground black pepper if desired. Toss gently again.
  7. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Serve cold.

Notes

Use ripe, seedless watermelon for best sweetness and minimal fuss. Toss gently to avoid crushing watermelon cubes. For a dairy-free version, substitute feta with vegan cheese or omit it. Serve chilled for best flavor and texture. If preparing ahead, keep drizzle separate and add before serving.
